First off, let me say this mat *feels* like gym equipment—because it literally is. The dense closed-cell foam doesn’t play around; it’s firm enough to keep me stable during planks but cushioned just right so my knees don’t scream during mountain climbers on hardwood floors.

I use the 71-inch version (I’m 6’2"), and it’s long enough for full-body stretches without my feet dangling off. The reinforced grommets? Genius. I hang it on a cheap $5 wall hook after workouts, and zero tears or warping—unlike my old mat that curled up like a stubborn burrito.

Downsides? It’s not a cloud. If you want squishy, go thinner (3/8"). And yeah, leaving weights on it leaves temporary dents (they bounce back), but traction is killer—no slipping during burpees. After 4 months of daily abuse, it still looks new. Worth every penny for home gym warriors.
